Step inside this inviting, light and airy property, hang up your jackets and leave your walking boots, then move through to a lovely farmhouse-style kitchen with everything you need to rustle up hearty meals. The dining area is upstairs on the mezzanine level. From the kitchen, follow the corridor through into the welcoming lounge space, which maximises the spectacular views from its many windows. Settle into the comfortable seating with a warm drink for a chat or enjoy watching a movie on the Smart TV. Continue along the corridor to find three attractive double bedrooms with ample storage. The first double boasts an en-suite shower room and access to the conservatory, while the second has access to a balcony featuring sweeping views over the mountains. A family bathroom completes the interior of this charming cottage. Outside, the rear garden has a level patio area, with a step up to the lawned garden, which is steep in places, and leads to another patio area at the front of the property with an outdoor dining area and magnificent views. There is private parking for three cars.
